Lee White

Lee White (1948 - 2004) had first expressions of artistic creativity when he was just eight years old and this was quickly recognized by his grandmother, Lizzy. Each day she would set aside time for Lee to exercise his insightful talents and as a result, Lee received the Mayor's Trophy for Artists sponsored by the Miami Herald at age 12.

White's formal training began at the California College of Commercial Design, department of the City College of Los Angeles. He subsequently received a Fine Art degree from the California Institute of Arts. During the 70's and 80's, White shifted his focus to seriography, and was fortunate enough to work under the famed master of printmaking, Warren Woodward.

Shortly thereafter, White relocated to the Southeast, where he continued to work with and gather influence from leading artists and printmakers. This personal and artistic journey took him through Florida, California, the exotic islands of the Caribbean, and ultimately to the Southeast before his death in the early 2000's. His diverse cultural experience lended a compelling and powerful range of vibrant color and storytelling to each of his pieces in his unique style. White's prolific oeuvre - including his exquisite figuratives, abstract expressions, still lifes and collages - are featured in private and corporate collections across the United States and around the world.
